Music fans will return to the desert this weekend for the 22nd edition of Coachella, with Bad Bunny, Blackpink and Frank Ocean set to headline.

It’s a return to normal pacing for North America’s largest music festival, which resumed last April after two years away and several false starts owing to the pandemic. While last year was marked by concern over organizers’ removal of mask and vaccination restrictions two months before the festival, the pandemic has receded farther into the background for this year’s rendition, which is expected to draw about 125,000 people daily to the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California.
